NAD C700 Streaming amp
The NAD C700 BluOS streaming amplifier is designed for the streaming era. Plug in your speakers, then use the intuitive BluOS app on your smartphone, tablet, PC or Mac to select the music you want to hear. It will sound glorious. Through its HybridDigital UcD output stage, the C700 can deliver 2x 80 watts of continuous power and 2x 120 watts of peak power for effortless reproduction of musical transients. NAD's highly efficient HybridDigital UcD amplifier design is known for ultra-low noise and distortion across the full signal frequency, regardless of speaker load.
Thanks to its elegant, minimalist design and premium materials, the C700 will stimulate all your senses – not just hearing, but also seeing and feeling. The amplifier is housed in a sturdy aluminum enclosure, with a smooth glass front panel and a 5 inch high-definition color display that shows album art, track progress and system settings. By following menus on the C700's color display, you can adjust amp settings using the control knob and navigation buttons on the front panel. And the C700 can learn commands from your favorite remote (optional).
